We can start with you telling us what kind of computer you have and which operating system.

For Microsoft Windows XP OS
Right Click>
Volume icon on system tray>
Open Volume Control>
IF there is no Microphone available at this point continue>
click
Options>
Properties>scroll up/down until you find
Microphone and
check the box and click OK to complete.
IMPORTANT sometimes
XP defaults to
Microphone at Mute so lower the gain and uncheck the
Mute box

Unless you're on a Mac, in which case it's...
Apple > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound > Input
Make sure the internal microphone is selected and the sound meter jumps when you speak. Adjust the level to make your voice jump in the upper third.
Then go into Audacity Preferences > Audio I/O and make sure the same thing is selected. You may only get to select "Default Input" here. That's OK.
